Jack longs for a pet, something BIG, something EXCITING - like an elephant. Or a lion. Or maybe even a Tyrannosaurus rex! But mum's not so sure about Jack's suggestions, and she always has a very good reason. Then Jack thinks of a solution that pleases them both: a dog. However, Jack's choice of dog is perhaps not what his mum had in mind - This successful picture book is newly presented in a gorgeous board book format, designed to bring this humorous story to younger readers.
